The elements of ceramic are formed in nature through thousands of years of crystallization, extreme temperatures, and literally tons of pressure. The result is a material that is close to diamond in harness, 50% harder than steel. Over the past four decades, Kyocera's unrelenting creativity has replicated this natural process, producing the finest ceramic in the world.
